Ph Community Outreach

Description

Engage Reddit, Indie Hackers, Hacker News and other communities for Product Hunt launches. Use this skill to identify relevant communities, craft appropriate posts, and drive cross-platform engagement without appearing spammy.

What this skill does

1. 1Maps relevant communities for your product across Reddit subreddits, Indie Hackers, Hacker News, Discord, and Slack with member counts and self-promotion policies.
2. 2Produces platform-specific post drafts for each community — adapted tone, format, and value framing — rather than copy-pasting one post everywhere.
3. 3Builds a pre-launch participation plan (2-4 weeks of commenting) to establish karma and credibility before the launch post.
4. 4Creates a launch-day posting schedule that spaces community posts to avoid spam signals and maximize engagement windows.
5. 5Provides a community outreach checklist covering pre-launch activity status, post timing, and post-launch follow-up and results sharing.
